10. I believe the person doing the recording is bound by the laws in their state

So if the head hunter was the one doing the recording and lives in a two party consent state it doesn't matter where the friend lives. Recording without all parties' consent is illegal. If the situation were reversed then it would be legal.

Your friend would have to decide if he wants to put the head hunter through the embarrassment of getting arrested or fined. That being said if he did it once he probably does it all the time. I might be tempted to let the guy know what he did was illegal and he better knock it off. I don't think that there is more than a fine involved in any state where two party consent is required.

Not so. The person being recorded is in a two party state. They must be informed. elehhhhna May 2017 #11
